Side-note Third-person Dreamsign

The shark
I'm in a small boat with two other guys. A larger boat is nearby. A shadow in the water is circling us, nudging us away from the big boat, I don't see a fin, but I know it's a shark.

Research station
I'm at a tropical research station. It's a picturesque place, with trees all around, a river to my left, and a row of low off-white buildings. Due to the government shutdown, many of the experiments running here have been ruined and will take months or years to redo. They can't even afford their normal buildings, so they're renting out a motel to have space for the few of them who are left to work in.

Now, I'm driving, making a tight corner near the research base and driving up a mountain road.

Messed up clocks
I finally give up on my WILD attempt and try to check the time. First, I look at my phone, but it's showing something crazy. It looks like a clock, but the characters are thin and purple and show an impossible time. I'm concerned that something's crashed or gone haywire, but then I realize I was in the media player and this is showing the play time.

I look at the clock on my nightstand and see that it's just short of eight o'clock, and I'm horrified: I overslept by nearly 2 hours, and I'm late for work by one hour. I check the alarm settings on my phone to see what happened. As far as I can tell, I set the alarm properly, but it never went off. This is the second time this has happened; I'm seriously concerned about the reliability of this phone now.

I really had been trying to WILD; I must have fallen asleep during the attempt.

City transit
I'm in a city, driving, pulling out of a parking lot. A shuttle bus gives me room to pull out of the parking lot I'm in, which I'm grateful for - traffic is heavy. I get in the right-most lane, then move over another lane. This is a big road with at least 4 lanes in each direction.

Now I turn onto a road, then realize it's the wrong one. It's fairly narrow and has no markings. Up ahead, I see a spot that looks like a good turnaround; when I get to it, it turns out to be a small parking lot with slots on either side of the road, so it's perfect. I swing right, then all the way around to the left. As I start to head back down the road, I see giant white arrows painted on it pointing the direction I was originally heading, against how I'm traveling now. Whoops: it's a one-way street. I'm not too far from the entrance, and no cars are coming, so I go ahead and drive back down it anyway.

Now I'm on the sidewalk with my bike, walking beside it. I think about getting on it properly, but then I see another guy also walking with his bike - running, in fact, to get to a* traffic light and across the crossing before it changes. I follow his example.

Now that I'm across the street, I think again about mounting the bike, but I can't figure out how. The handlebars are a kind of oval shape, so I try sitting on it, but that doesn't work at all. I'm coming up on a really crowded part of the sidewalk, so I fold up my bike a little, but not very well. Troy's road bike folds much more easily, and I consider again whether it was a mistake to get a mountain bike.

Now the sidewalk across the street in front of me is completely blocked - it looks like people are getting ready to view a parade. I'm forced to turn right; I'm going to have to figure out how to get back where I need to be.

Now I'm in hallways underground. Near the stairs out, I come across a troubled youth. He's black, with short frizzy hair, and he's mumbling something I can't really make out. My first reaction is just to avoid him and keep moving, but then I have compassion on him. I realize he probably doesn't get much love, and I determine to show him some. I rest my hands on his head, and he seems to calm down some. He's still mumbling something - I think it's about nuns or the Roman Catholic church - and I try to think how to tell him about the saving work of Christ. I happen to look down and realize that his right foot is about the size of my young daughter's, though his left foot is normal. A male teacher walks by and makes a brief comment about him.

Attack animals
Someone has engineered a bunch of little animals designed to take down a huge animal. I see them swarming the huge animal's feet, generally getting crushed underfoot. They're calling strategy to each other.

Stuck
Underground, I see a huge door. It's been damaged at the bottom, and there's a chipmunk boy scout stuck under it (he's wearing a red-and-green uniform). A nearby adult mole (also in uniform) is trying to figure out how to free the scout. Suddenly, flame erupts from the top of the door right above the scout and starts to drip down. The mole panics and flees, ashamed that he couldn't save the scout; but the flames actually end up burning away the part of the door trapping the scout, freeing him.

I was at some sort of giant water slide park with my friend Auston and my sister Karen. We kept calling it Six Flags, but all that was there was water slides and, for some reason, bars and pawn-shop like things. We kept going down the slides on this circular 4-man raft and hitting the ramp at the bottom. At one point they sent me down by myself and I fell off. I got mad and went to the bar where I saw a lot of hot girls, who just ignored me. Then for some reason, I recall a pawn shop worker saying "...all the girls I get..." I got jealous, went back to the slides and woke up.

A man got arrested, and he thought it was because he was successful in business so his enemies put together false charges.

I remembered more upon waking up, but I lost it.

I'm at Big W, and I see Drew D(childhood friend). I tell him about when we stole an ice cream from the shopping center when we were younger. He laughs and knows what I'm talking about. I tell him about the crunchie ice cream I stole.

I hear an announcement over the speaker. It's about everyone having to leave the store, as they're closing up. I also hear something about a couple of groups still in the store. I think I may have been one of them?

As I'm leaving the store, I see someone who looks very familiar and know of them somehow (I don't know who). He tells me that I have been chosen for something. I definitely didn't expect this, which makes me excited. I soon realize it's about me being in a movie. I see a piece of paper with what was happening on it. My screen name is printed on it, but it's different. It says something like DEILD-CHiLLEN or DEILD-DEAN (I don't think the DEILD was spelt correctly though). I seem to have a big part in this movie where I have been chosen to record 11 dreams. I tell the guy, I could record 11 dreams within the week. It crosses my mind, If I couldn't remember 11 dreams, I could always use dreams that I've previously had logged in my dream journal, or make some up to make myself sound as If I had some awesome dreams. I see a $800 above my category where my name was printed. It seems to get the most amount of money, compared to the rest of the categories.

I'm outside the shop, and I'm talking to the same guy. I tell him that he's a good guy and an honest one.

16.08.13

Its a long times since i had this dream, and to be honest it has fallen completely to my unconsciousness. What i mean about that is that i have no recall of this dream, what so ever, and it just makes it even more random to read.

The dream fragment:
I was dreaming that i took a shower, and when i exited the dream i saw a huge spider walking around. It was so big that it almost didn't fit in a jar, but when i caught it and put it in there, it died.
Clearly a symbolic thing, i see now, that i dream of spiders quite a lot.
Anyways, that was not the only thing. I actually had a some kind of tiger or leopard, a big cat, that i used to shower with, and i was showing it of to everyone i knew (of course not when i was in the shower.)

02.08.13

The dream fragment, and thoughts:
I was on some kind of class trip (i don't go to school anymore), out in a fjord somewhere.
In the nights, i was sleepwalking and supposedly did all sort of strange stuff. Like tearing up milk-packs and putting them inside of each other.
I was very scared of what i did when i was sleeping, because i did all these advanced activities, that made no sense at all. Afraid that i would do, or had done something bad.

01.08.13
The scenario:
In the dream, some sort of alien species has attacked earth and wiped out most of the human civilization. Those who are still alive, are living in small groups. Some just trying to survive and stay out of sight, others beliving that there is still a chance of defeating the opposing alien threat. This dream is about the "Alien Resistance Force".
The dream takes place in some sort of forest, hard to say where, quite dense vegetation, but not quite as tropical as a jungle. High trees and a canopy that is so thick that almost no sunlight shine trough.

I don't quite remember the appearance of the aliens, but they where about one and a half time as big as a normal human, and was blackish in their skin.

The fragments of the dream that i can remember:
In the dream i am either an observer, or a little child. (maybe both).
The last resistance camp (not sure if in just this area, or in the whole world) had been exposed, and the aliens was moving in to attack. During this time, most of the camp was out patrolling and scouting.
While i was watching one of the scout groups, the aliens moved in on the camp and slaughtered everyone, and everything. I remember seeing the camp in the aftermath, when a group returned. All that was left alive, was a badly injured cow, which was almost cut in half and sprayed blood out of its lungs every time it tried to breathe. It was a horrible sight.
The scouting group was in an old ruin at the time the aliens caught up with them. The group thought that the aliens was not aware of their presence, so they tried to hide. It did not work, and the battle was futile, all but one little boy and his wolf was killed, with almost no alien casualties.

The boy managed to escape, and made his way with the wolf pup up trough the forest and to the mountains. Where he would try to survive and train the wolf to help him.

I'm sitting outside my home town shopping center square, a popular spot for people to hang out. I'm with people I know, including family.

I'm now at my old house in blacks land. I walk over to the sink and see my cousin Grace, eating something that looked similar to a LeSnack (cream cheese and biscuits). I tell her that it can be better, instead of a LeSnack. She agrees with me as I leave to go back to the kitchen table where the rest of the family is. My auntie L begins to laugh at me, and says that I try to use my charming skills on family members. I deny what she is saying and tell her that I'm just friendly and may just come off that way. I joke around and say that the ladies fall in love with me, or as I should put it, like me. My auntie responds with that they fall in love with me, with their head, not their heart.

I'm back at the center square and girls from my high school keep coming up to me. They want to be in a relationship with me. I politely decline each one of them. I now see more girls walking in a line, all holding a piece of paper up with my name. I once again, shake my head and wave my hands for them to carry on walking (lol Casanova, eat your heart out!). I don't have that physical attraction towards any of them. Another girl walks up to me and I decline, ONCE AGAIN, but this time she reacts by trying to slap me, but I see it coming. I stand up in disgust, and explain that how she could slap someone for not wanting to be in a relationship, while doing nothing wrong what so ever. I put her back in her place and she is speechless. I see her Mother behind her, and she pulls her daughter away so that they could leave. I hear someone say that the girl who tried to slap me was in fact Nick's sister(Attended my school), and that he wouldn't be too happy with me. I see Nick come towards me, but walks straight passed me. It's as if he doesn't see me. I wake up.

These first two dreams are from yesterday, as the internet was out and I couldn't log them on DV...

#1. I was running down the middle of the road, and out of no where this fighter jet descended and landed on the road. Then it took a sharp left onto the wrong way of a one way and took back off. Then it landed again in a parking lot and I got to go over and take a look at it and go inside the cockpit.

#2. I was in my room and had this piano. I was with one my my English teachers and we apparently had written the Thrill of the Feel album, which is actually by Crush 40. Apparently since we were this awesome band we needed some more music as that is what we were trying to come up with.

#3. I was at school in robotics engineering. It was weird though because we had another entire team there. (apparently the class had grown in size)

#4. I was in Lit class, which also happened to be at my grandmother's house. Then I kind of felt like I was a bird and started flying away, as I was apparently running away from somebody. I then flew over the house and glided down into this marshy area to hide under some tall grass.

#5. I was at school with my CAP squadron and we were doing some sort of 9/11 ceremony. I was bummed because I had missed the email about it or something though and didn't get to participate.

#6. I was a soldier in WWII and my squad and I ran into some enemies. We were dug down in a trench and then an onslaught of Germans started pouring over. I had these weird grenade things though that reminded me of cigarettes. I would grab a handful, crumple them up, and then throw them at a group of enemies for spectacular results.

#7. Personal dream

#8. I was in electrical engineering working on a project of mine. It was weird though because there was a kid in class who was going bald! We were then discussing one of our old senior design projects and computer science. Mumble grumble I can't understand anything else I said...

Dream 1(fragments):

I was in some video game and there was something about castle and some caves.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was playing creeper world 3, some level where i had to use alot of relays.

I was in my high school, but it was almost completely empty. These girls I know, Jada and Emma are walking around the school. I was walking behind them with my friend Nicholas. I thought I heard the girl Jada singing songs from a band called Pepper(one of my favorite bands). The exact lyrics she sung were "The sun is melting that ego, you better find a new place to hide it..." At this point she skipped way into the song to the following: "Go purchase your friends at the mall, their going on sale soon. Meet me at the checkout line, so we can all laugh at you." I got excited because I have a crush on her (In WL) and have never been able to find any common ground, so I saw this as the perfect ice breaker. But, right as I went to talk to her, they began walking away very quickly. I couldn't catch up. At one point they turned into a classroom, but when I entered, it was just a few teachers and for some reason there was some sort of caution tape blocking the doorway. So, after a while, I gave up and went home. Once I arrived, I messaged her on Facebook: "Hey, I heard you singing Pepper earlier, I really love that band." Well, I typed it, I couldn't bring myself to send it. Then I woke up.

Dream Meaning (IMO):
I am always too scared to talk to girls. Even ones whom I have a reason to talk to. I think this is my subconscious brain's way of telling me not to be scared. And so, I won't from now on.

Just have to celebrate after experiencing my first very short LD.
I usually have excellent dream recall, and am often quite aware in my dreams, but i have struggled to actually "wake up"

So this mornings dreaming exploits went like this.

I was on an island beach, it was early evening and i was walking along the beach with a middle aged man. I felt for some reason that he had recently committed a murder, perhaps i recognised him from the news or something, although i was not uncomfortable around him, there was a relaxed, friendly atmosphere between us. We had walked for a long time and soon came up to a stand which was holding many pairs of shoes. I went to grab a pair, and the man said to me "you can't do that!"
And i looked him in the eyes with a smirk on my face and replied "well actually, i can do whatever i like, because this is my dream"
The moment i said this, the scene exploded with dark swirls of colour, browns, blues and blacks radiated out from this man, who seemed to instantly drop his former character and he revealed his true identity as a very serious, short monk, who looked me deep in the eyes. I almost felt as if he was disgruntled by my awareness and was trying to shock me awake by rapidly restructuring the dream scape and his appearance, and to some degree it worked because i partly woke up.

When i slipped back to sleep again, i dreamt that i was in a class room, sitting on a red couch. A group of young children (5-6year olds) began pushing the couch with me on it, and as they pushed the couch, the island scene from the first dream began to form behind me, so the children were pushing me from their classroom, into the ocean. I protested but the children squealed with delight and laughter. Hundreds and thousands fell from the sky like confetti.

Two nights ago, I had this very long dream about running away from vampires who were also zombies. It was... confusing haha

Last night, I had lots of dreams, but I can't remember them very well. I know there were vampires, I remember my cousin being there. Hmmm... and I woke up with "Sweet Child O' Mine" in the tune of Silvelchair's "Miss You Love". Go figure.

Certainly an interesting one. Finally wrote my dream down after months of being lazy!
I was at what seemed to be Hogwarts...or at least, it was a Hogwarts-like setting. A smug man with a suit and combed over hair walked into the main hall, telling me I was being forced to play some kind of game. This game would have life or death consequences.
Rather than play the game, I investigated this man, spying on him and keeping tabs on his activities. I eventually found out he had an assistant named Brittany. I was able to spy on them executing students, with what looked like statues of living armor.
Sadly, this is all I could remember. Good start though after putting this off for so long.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

Dream 1:

I am on my PC and i am browsing some stuff, i get onto some site with lots of images of dragons, i look through images for a while and then decide to leave but can't, it keeps opening new tabs instead. Then i see that i have looooots of tabs open already, i think that i would not even had so many tabs open, and then i feel that i am dreaming. The monitor starts showing some red image, i decide to ask dream about my dragon form and monitor starts cycling through dragon images, then dream fades.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was apparently watching some kind show which was based on minecraft, but with actual people instead of players. People were having problems with redstone in their factory.
